When You're Going Through Something, Whether It's A Wonderful Thing Like Having A Child Or A Sad Thing Like Losing Somebody, You Often Feel Like 'oh My God, I'm So Overwhelmed; I'm Dealing With This Huge Thing On My Own.' In Fact, Poetry's A Nice Reminder That, No, Everybody Goes Through It. These Are Universal Experiences.

I Feel Like My Grandparents And Parents Gave Me A Tremendous Amount. And If I Can Pass Some Of That On, Then I'll Be Very Happy.

People Don't Always Realize That My Parents Shared A Sense Of Intellectual Curiosity And A Love Of Reading And Of History.

I'm Not As Shy As Everybody Makes Me Out To Be.
